Beach season is around the corner, so I had to cut back on the fries this time. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely come back. I like the atmosphere of this local pub. There is a wolf behind the bar that actually has a story. I asked the bartender and took notes. The story is; One of the owners got it from a friend whose family had a Montana ranch. The wolf had hung around the ranch and was named Ida by the friend's mother. After the wolf died, it was taxidermied and eventually given to the owner, who made it the centerpiece of the bar and named the place after it.

For drinks, I got the "get in the ring" cocktail which tasted quite odd- I haven't tried jalepeño-infused tequila before that & I have about zero intentions to try it again afterwards. Also, I don't care if it's a dive bar or a fancy cocktail lounge- the bare minimum is to have a clean bathroom. If neither of the bathrooms in the basement are clean...I mean, just no. Don't want hygiene to be a concern for post-work drinks.

I will admit it is a small place. If you like your back then don't come here. I didn't see any stools with backs. I thought it was funny they had a little area where the chefs were. My friend purchased a sandwhich and it was pretty good. I don't really remember what music was playing. It was more of a talk to your friends kinda place. This definitely is a good place to end a night of bar hopping.

I'd def recommend and would love to visit if I'm in the neighborhood again.

Their menu is not huge but there is a good amount of items and everything sounded delicious. -Supreme Beef Ban Ban Noodles; This was so good, they also have this in a soup option but we got the dry option and it was so good. The flavors were good and it was a little bit spicy but not too bad. -Saucy Sesame Cold Noodle: this was also very good, very refreshing and the portion size was also very pretty large -Chilli Wonton: This was also very yummy, low key comparable to the ones from DTF. Overall - highly recommend checking this place out for lunch or dinner! They have great noodle dishes and the service was great!

First outing of 2026... Brining it back to an oldie...BUT…read moregoodie! But since it's a new year - had to switch it up because...DUH! This is a cute tapas bar in Astoria w/chill service - you aren't rushed at all. They have a heated outdoor space but naaahhhh...it's too cold (I was shocked folks still venture to eat outside - they were setting up for an outdoor seating that was due to arrive) Y'all, I fcked up! If you pay with cash, it's 3.5% off however, b/c it was still Happy hour (M-F! Until 7PM )...still felt like a win... But now for the food and dranks..yous already know, it's probably not in order... Barrel aged Remington...(kinda like an elevated Old Fashioned) Mai Tai PA (NOT your traditional Mai Thai) Bar Dalia Punch (kinda like a strong + pretty RunPunch) Beef empanda Yuca fries (I've never been a fan BUT these were GOOD) Crispy Brussel sprouts (I am a sucka for sprouts so obviously, I HAD to get it) Calamari (this wasn't the best but then again, didn't eat it fast enough) Honey Sriracha Chicken Bites (call me a punk but this was spppiiicccccyyy even if it was tasty) Glad that I was able to go back to 'basics' w/a lil flaiiiirrrr

I came here during happy hour on Thursday and got a few items. The music wasn't too loud for a bar…read moreand was able to have a private conversation.

3.5 stars for the slow service since it was cinco de mayo and although they're usually busy, it was…read morereally packed even before 7pm. Only one waitress, one bartender? It's a fairly large restaurant. We ordered cocktails, few tapas and the steak. I would've ordered another entree but they were out of dish after dish that I would've tried.. well it turned out to be enough food since the omelette dish was so dense and I filled up on bread. The best dish was the shrimp with garlic tapa which I usually wouldn't bother ordering but I've already tried most of the menu. Lots of garlic. Really tasty ..dipped the oil with the bread. We were sitting there for a while, waiting for our drinks and other food but nothing came out so I wanted more bread since I was starving. My first meal that day. One the guys brought more bread for us quickly. The steak and omelette finally came. I would never order the omelette dish but L wanted to try it and it was tapas Tuesday so there was a slight discount. Very bland. Not enough egg, too much potato, very dry so we spooned a lil of the garlic oil from the shrimp dish and it helped a lot. I had a lil but L ate the rest. Salad was good but it was overdressed. The steak was a lil bit bloody in the middle even though we ordered it medium so it wasn't as good as we had it before. We still didn't get our cocktails because the bartender lady kept making margaritas which were only $5 that day instead of our $17 drinks. Someone came past 7:30pm and our waitress said he was gonna make our drinks. The drinks were pretty good but we already finished our food. Usually I would have ordered one of each cocktail at Sala but I was full and had other places to go. The slow service and the unavailability of certain dishes has impacted my recommendation to others but I still like the drinks here and we did enjoy the gambas tapa dish a lot..

Takeout Gem in LIC -- BeeBees NYC…read more Just tried BeeBees NYC for takeout -- we got a margherita (7/10) and a cheese pizza (5.5/10), and both totally hit the spot. The crust was thin and crisp, the sauce had just the right balance (not too heavy), and even after a 15-minute trip, everything held up perfectly. It's rare to find takeout pizza that travels well and doesn't leave you feeling like trash after. For a solid, reliable pie in Long Island City, BeeBees is officially on the list. Highly recommend for your next takeout night. Ps - this is from a person who has tried 46 pizza places in NYC

My friend and I stopped by here for a dinner on a random Thursday. We did not make a reservation in…read moreadvance but was still able to getting seating at the chef's table. They are a tapas style restaurant so recommendation is getting about 2-3 dishes per person to share. The place itself is pretty vibey with dim lighting. We did see some big groups in there so I think it's pretty good for groups and for dates as well. We were not super hungry so we decided to get three dishes and one dessert to share. -Ahi Tuna Canario: This was just alright, a little on the sour side due to the sauces they used. The tuna was pretty fresh and they had fresh avocado underneath. -Croquetas Setas: Mushroom croquetes - this was also just alright, comes with three pieces. Very fried and crispy. -Chicken Wings: This was pretty decently, the flavors were good but nothing too special -Turron: This dessert was so good - highly recommend. It was the best item we had tonight, the cake was so good and the ice cream went so well with the cake. Overall - I think that there are other better restaurants in the area but they do have a lot of other tapas that we did not try.

We shared the pancakes (who doesn't love Tres Leches) and the Brunch Smash Burger - steak, eggs, and all the other good stuff. Came with fries.

We love this spot - a great new local find!

I love that the menu changes with the season and their wine selection is always on point. If you're not sure what to get, just ask! They have a new venison sausage with gruyer skillet that is the epitome of winter. It made me feel like I was in a French chalet apres-ski. My husband and I shared that with a charcuterie board and paired it with a bottle of red. They have a fantastic Happy Hour until 6pm with discounted apps, cocktails, and wine by the glass or bottle. The bottles are $30 during HH and the quality is great! They also host a ton of fun events. I've been here for drag bingo, but they also host a ton of view parties and trivia nights. Always a great time when I'm here!

The bruschetta and asparagus were delicious, but left something to be desired compared to the other dishes.
